Authentic-style chalets
Grosset-Janin, a chalet builder in Haute-Savoie and Savoie, specialises in the construction of post-and-beam wooden chalets, an architectural style emblematic of mountain chalets. This traditional timber construction method is particularly common in Alpine pastures, often combined with local stone to create a typically Savoyard chalet style. This traditional expertise has become the hallmark of the company, which is now a leader in the construction of contemporary yet authentic timber chalets in Savoie and Haute-Savoie. The frame of the chalet is made up of large-section solid wood posts and beams that form a 100% self-supporting wooden structure, allowing great freedom in the interior design of the house. Pre-cut in the workshop, this wooden frame will be assembled and erected in just a few days by our team of professional carpenters, bringing your wooden chalet to life.
Deeply rooted in its mountain region and strongly service-oriented, Grosset-Janin has always sought to be as close as possible to its customers. As a chalet builder in Megève, Chamonix and Les Gets, we established local sales offices in these iconic resorts in the 1990s to facilitate communication and support for our customers. For the Savoie region, our Bourg Saint Maurice office manages all chalet construction and renovation projects in all Savoie resorts, such as Méribel, Les Arcs, Tignes, La Rosière and many others.

Our workshops are located in Domancy, at the foot of Mont Blanc, and bring together all the woodworking trades: carpentry, joinery, interior design and custom-made wooden furniture. As a builder, we select our mountain wood from France or Europe, from local quality sawmills. Every piece of wood used in our chalets is manufactured in our own workshops, thanks to expertise that has been mastered and passed down from generation to generation for over 70 years. Windows, doors and wooden staircases are also designed and manufactured in our workshops, as are structural elements and exterior joinery. Our chalets are built according to the rules of the art of timber construction, with precise assemblies, high-quality materials and meticulous finishes, guaranteeing high-quality wooden chalets.
Thanks to our in-house design office, our architects and draughtsmen work on the design of your chalet construction project. The plans for your chalet, the sketches of your layout or your custom-made wooden furniture are drawn up on site and then manufactured directly in our production workshops. In this way, we ensure continuity in the design/manufacturing process, guaranteeing high-quality workmanship.
